Product Description
Review
“These lively debates by some of today’s most prominent philosophers of art explore the multiple ways the arts engage our cognition, imagination, emotions, and even our moral sensibilities. The accessibility of these discussions makes them ideal for classroom use, while their range and depth make them equally of interest to philosophers who work in the field.” Susan Feagin, Temple University
“By virtue of its astute selection of topics and distinguished contributors, this volume will help to advance debate on a number of central issues in contemporary aesthetics. It also provides an excellent central text for a cutting–edge course on the subject.” Paisley Livingston, Lingnan University

Excellent overview appropriate for those new to the field and the already initiated.
7 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This volume provides an excellent overview of the current hot debates in philosophy of art. Each topic is treated in sufficent depth to engage a graduate student with background in aesthetics, and yet the topics treated provide a sampler platter for those new to the discipline. An excellent read overall.
